[edit]

Runremsangi was born in the village of Keitum in the Serchhip district of India on 1 March 1963[1] and by the age of three she was singing.[citation needed] She enjoyed singing and she was asked to perform at weddings and in the church.[2] She enrolled at the Institute of Music and Fine Arts (IMFA) Mizoram L. Mangaliana.[citation needed]

When her family moved to Aizawl in 1986 she told All India Radio that she was a singer and that launched her singing career.[2] All India Radio commissioned her to sing over fifty Mizo songs in genres including folk and gospel. After six years she went to work for the Art & Culture department of the state of Mizoram.[2]

She has performed at the Chapchar Kut Mizo festival in Mizoram.[3] This festival dates back hundreds of years.[4]

She had made over 50 recordings and her awards include the Padma Shri which she was given by India's president Ram Nath Kovind in 2023.[3] The award was for her contribution to art and culture. In November 2023 she was at ICFAI Mizoram University where she was awarded an honorary doctorate.[5]
